Its been a while since I've posted, (Grad school is getting crazy.) I'm in need of a new 150W DE MH bulb and I was looking on reefgeek.com but couldn't decide which brand (Ham. Phoenix or Ushio). Does anyone have an opinion? I am thinking of trying the 14K instead of the 20K I have now (XM bulb.)

Thanks guys,

Mark

Lucky Ocean has the 150w Phoenix if you want to take a peek at it.

I ordered the phoenix from reefgeek, nice and bright. It is more blue than my old XM 20K and it really makes the greens and blues pop.
